Looking at it, you'd never know Georgia had spent all night on her 'masterpiece'. Holding it at arm's length to get the full picture, she's tempted to hover it at arm's length over the nearest bin, if not a shredder, but she should probably at least get out of the sight of the teacher and other volunteers before she makes her feelings known. She tugs on her coat as everyone begins to pack up, tucking her showpiece under her arm for now. The night still feels young, however, and after that, "I think I need a drink," she sighs. "I don't know why I was a little hopeful the 'adult' part of the paint night was wine. Care to join me?"

Georgia could never have imagined someone like Vivienne would remember her after the conversation they had on opening night. It's not like she'd said anything to stand out above the rest. She has never shone too brightly on her own, but she must've done something to deserve Vivienne's kindness and guidance across all the times they've met since. When she watches her cook, she's embarrassed by all the times she's told Charlie she, too is a chef for throwing pizzas in the oven at the pizzeria. She keeps her lips sealed tight when it comes to her usual quips with Vivienne.

"I could watch you work all day." She admits, tips of her ears warm. "You make it look so easy. I feel like I struggle just to crack an egg without getting a little shell."

starter: serin ( @serinxo ) location: mango bay record store

Georgia's not sure who to blame here. She's only here because Maisie told her the owner is apparently a major asshole. She should have known that Georgia would go looking, but how was she to know the pompous croissant lady would be down the next aisle? Had Georgia even told her about the pastry ordeal from back in January? Had it really been that long already? They have their back to each other, but as Georgia peeks over her shoulder, she realises she's more interested in being a nuisance to her than finding intel. Sorry, Maisie. Next time!

"Hey, you don't work here, do you?" She asks, face of faux innocence as she slides up beside her, mindlessly leafing through records. "It's just I heard a rumour about the owner from a friend and then I saw you and I guess it would just make sense."

This wasn't really Georgia's scene, but she, like most of the population, had bought multiple brand new workout outfits in the new year and had yet to get any use out of them. She's a little embarrassed that they've been hanging in her wardrobe, taunting her every morning for over two months now, and it's far too late to return them ( not that that would have been any less humiliating than this ) so her only option is to wear them at last. At least she isn't disgracing herself on her dime today.

"Hey, please tell me you're a beginner at this, too, so I'm not alone." She asks, loud enough for only those closest to her to hear. "Wouldn't be surprised at this point if I pull something doing the stretches."

starter: gianna ( @amadouers ) location: harborview residences

Georgia doesn't expect to be met with this anywhere, much less the lobby of her apartment complex. The mail she'd just collected is now sprawled out across the floor, heartbeat loud enough that her neighbours might start to complain. It's always here, in what should be the safety of her own home, that she feels the smallest. She'd wasted so much of her effort avoiding Juliet when coming and going, when there had been a bigger threat lurking in the corridors all along — a ghost of the past, the sister she'd tried to erase. Knowing where she lives. It takes her a minute or two to muster up anything to say, to find any words that won't stumble out of her mouth in the garbled mess she's tried so hard not to be since she left Gianna behind.

"What are you doing here?"

starter: serin ( @serinxo ) location: national croissant day, sunrise cafe

Georgia isn't usually this generous, but there's something in the air today ( the scent of freshly baked croissants ) and she finds herself making an offer the person waiting behind her hopefully can't refuse. "Do you want to go halves for a dozen pack? Seems like overkill for just me, but it's better to buy a few." One definitely isn't enough, twelve is too many... Yet, six alone isn't enough for her to feel like she's taking full advantage of the discount. Honestly, she shouldn't complain that these days this is the biggest dilemma of her day.

starter: leon ( @hecticlife ) location: national hot tea day, sunrise cafe

Ordinarily, at the notion of having to share a table with a stranger, Georgia would scoff and stomp her way back home, but with the buzz of the atmosphere and the time she'd spent on her look on her mind, she begins to consider accepting her fate. There's no familiar faces in the vicinity, though whether that's actually a bad thing is up for debate. Instead, she turns to the man behind her and takes a chance she's already hoping and praying she won't come to regret.

"Hey, they won't let me have a table unless it's for two because it's so busy; want to share a tea flight with me?" She can already imagine how uninviting her irritated expression is, so she adds on a quick "I'll pay, my treat," to sweeten the deal.

starter: your choice ( @cherriesfm ) location: lick the spoon

It doesn't need to be National Strawberry Ice Cream Day to get Georgia to indulge. She does usually prefer the company of her bed and Netflix with her bucket full, but the promise of a free scoop is enough to placate her as she waits in the queue. Truthfully, her favourite flavour is actually Cookie Dough, but June's a little further away than the counter, even if the person two in front of her is taking a lifetime to decide what they want.

She clicks her nails against the back of her phone, tilting her head back just enough for the person behind her to hear her quiet complaints without taking her eyes off the customer at the front. "Getting the free ice cream flavour on the free ice cream flavour day has to be the easiest decision of my life, yet this guy's indecision is making me doubt it now."
